Again of similar shape and stnieture of the preceding 

 species. but the antennae ^vith the ninth Joint extremely large 

 and widened. move so than in any of the allied ibrms. the shape 

 of tliis Joint is something between a hatchet and a club, the 

 tenth is also very thick but less than half the length of the 

 preceding one. the third and foiirth Joints are nearly equal, 

 elongale, the follovving are triangularly dilated and shovter; only 

 a Single male specimen is before me; the terminal Joint of the 

 antennae is probably elongate again as is generally the ease. In 

 Donjdea insignis Baly the antennae have the corresponding joints 

 likewisc enormously widened but their shape is quite dillerent 

 and they are also deeply hollowed out.
